Company History
Sugar Fire began in early 2023. Founded by Gena and Sandi when it became apparent that there was an overwhelming need for support in training, execution, and brand development in so many aspects of the Hospitality industry. The strong desire to help all execute at a high level and understanding that not all companies have the resources to maintain executive level leadership in order to build and maintain consistency, Sugar Fire was created. We provide the tools and structure to improve operations. After all, what happens to sugar when you add fire? It crystallizes and becomes more resilient. Our fire burns bright to help our clients lead the way.
